Morning Running Club

What: Running club is meant for students to get some exercise before school. Students are working towards completing a marathon which is 132 laps around the track or as many laps as they can during the running club season.

Where: Students will meet at door 13 by the stairs, outside of the gym. We will be running outside on the Hawthorne track.

Who: All Hawthorne students are welcome to attend running club. Students can show up and they will receive a running card that they will use to track their laps.

Other Details: In the case of a rain out, running club will be cancelled for that day. Mr. Q, PE teacher, will post cancellations on the Hawthorne Elementary School PTA facebook page as soon as possible. Rain outs will not be made up in the gym. Lastly, parents are welcome to help out and mark laps and cheer on the students.
